Menopause Chicks

It's About Women's Health at All Ages

Episode Summary

In this episode, I have the pleasure of talking about women's health with our future. My director Amy Scott, and my daughter Keira Johannson, help us understand how women’s health conversations are changing with younger generations. We discuss the importance of community in making women feel less alone, and Amy and Keira share their advice for young women who want to have more informed health conversations with the women in their lives.
